>>1380941decided to change the rear cog to the 18t anyway. Much, much better. Descents are completely manageable now and hills are not noticeably harder, I should have done this way sooner.
still haven't put the 28mm tires on because proper tubes were out of stock everywhere for some reason but hopefully I'll be able to change them this week. Also ordered some Peugeot decals for the frame which are probably arriving this week.
I'm having a bit of a problem with both the bottom bracket lockring and the rear cog lockring. They come loose very easily after doing a couple of skids. I've got them as tight as I possibly can and still they come loose, it's ridiculous. It happens more frequently on the bottom bracket, I had to tighten it twice during my ride today. Any ideas?
